Oceanic and International Operations ICAO Planning and Implementation Regional Groups

Objectives At the end of this lesson, you will be able to: Identify the ICAO Planning and Implementation Regional Groups in the North Atlantic (NAT) in which the FAA participates Identify the ICAO Planning and Implementation Regional Groups in the Pacific in which the FAA participates Identify the ICAO Planning and Implementation Regional Groups in the Caribbean/South America in which the FAA participates Identify the ICAO Planning and Implementation Regional Groups in the North Polar regions in which the FAA participates Identify other ICAO Planning and Implementation Regional Groups in which the FAA participates Explain other ICAO Airport Code Naming Conventions

Overview In this lesson we will discuss the following topics: Responsibilities of ICAO Planning and Implementation Regional Groups ICAO Planning and Implementation Regional Groups in the North Atlantic (NAT) ICAO Planning and Implementation Regional Groups in the Pacific ICAO Planning and Implementation Regional Groups in the Caribbean/South America ICAO Planning and Implementation Regional Groups in the North Polar Area ICAO Panel ICAO Airport Code Naming Conventions

ICAO Planning and Implementation Regional Groups The planning and implementation groups around the world are responsible for dealing with: Developing Procedures and Contingencies Reduced Separation Standards CNS Requirements Oceanic Errors

ICAO Planning and Implementation Regional Groups in the North Atlantic (NAT) NAT Organization NAT SPG Handbook ICAO Paris Website

ICAO Planning and Implementation Regional Groups in the Pacific Groups include: Informal Pacific Coordinating Group (IPACG) Includes ATC and regulators who attend the meetings Informal South Pacific ATS Coordinating Group (ISPACG) Oceanic Workgroup (OWG) FAA Oceanic Website

ICAO Planning and Implementation Regional Groups in the Caribbean/South America GREPECAS is the ICAO Planning and Implementation Group for the Caribbean and South America

ICAO Planning and Implementation Regional Groups in the North Polar Area Trans-Regional Airspace and Supporting ATM Systems Steering Group (TRASAS) is the ICAO Planning and Implementation Group for the North Polar area

ICAO Panel Separation and Airspace Safety Panel (SASP) This is a global group composed of Air Traffic Control (ATC) specialists and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) Its Terms of Reference are assigned by the ICAO Air Navigation Commission (ANC)

ICAO Panel Specific SASP issues being addressed currently are: Route spacing for terminal areas for Performance- Based Navigation (PBN) aircraft having a required navigation performance without depending upon radar separation standards Reduced separation minimum for climb or descent for aircraft using ADS-C surveillance

ICAO Panel Determination of the safety of the implementation of 1000' vertical separation between formation flights of RVSM approved aircraft and other RVSM approved aircraft Developing a safe en-route separation minimum for GNSS equipped aircraft in non-radar, less dense, non- complex airspace
